RIO DE JANEIRO
Why Rio?
There’s really no place quite like Rio de Janeiro. You could easily spend a week or two exploring new neighbourhoods, lounging on the beaches or hiking up to it’s many viewpoints. It’s an incredible city, one which I have returned to many times in my two trips to Brazil and can’t recommend it enough. With the help of Books Hostel owner and good friend, Felipe, we’ve put together this guide for you to help plan your trip.
Highlights
"There is something about Rio that is so addictive and has tempted me on 4 or 5 different occasions now. The hikes, the beaches, the weather, it's hard to explain but this place is my favourite city IN THE WORLD. It's landscape is unlike anything you'll have seen before and the upbeat buzz to the Brazilian people and their culture will draw you in."

Transport
For buses always check https://www.buscaonibus.com.br/. For foreigners the only website you will be able to buy online is https://www.busbud.com/en. Not a bad one but charge you 10% more. From Rio to Ilha Grande it makes sense to hire a transfer through [email protected] . Flights ask for help at front desk in any hostel. We always help people to get flights. I like to use https://123milhas.com/ however, as said, it is hard if you don’t speak Portuguese.
Novo Rio bus station is located in the North most part of the central city, close to Lapa but as said before, a quick 15-30 minute taxi wherever you need to go.
Uber in Rio de Janeiro is very cheap indeed. For safety and efficiency, I’d recommend using Uber, especially at night but during the day too, easy to get to beaches and gardens.
